| sit dumbly as | try to think of a diplomatic way to say that Ryann is just completely wrong. Either resisting Incubi is totallyimpossible OR Harry has way less control than she thinks.
“Ryann... Are you totally sure about Harry being controlled?” | ask quietly. She nods.
“Sure, he’s an expressive person, but | think that’s part of how he manages his emotions. He lets them out so he doesn’t let outhis magic. It makes sense to me at least.” She hesitates a little, probably because she’s making a lot of assumptions there.

“| can sort of see that.” | agree. It’s starting to feel a little weird talking about Harry like this. Was it a mistake to basically go to hisfriends to get info on him? It’s starting to feel a little creepy. It was fine when | was asking about Incubi in general, but askingabout Harry... | feel like this is something that | should be talking about with him. Still, maybe I’m just vulnerable
to Incubi magic because I’ve never been around it until him. Is that a thing?“Is it possible to be especially weak to Incubi magic?” | ask, | can feel heat in my cheeks asthey blush red. | do my best to ignore Megan’s snickering and Darrien’s smirk. Aaron actually
just seems curious about the answer and waits attentively. | think he might be growing on me because out of the group he’s theonly one not making me uncomfortable right now. His silence that is usually imposing is now comforting. | risk a small smile athim and he gives a small nod. Yeah, he knows what he’s doing. Ryann takes my question very seriously.

“| don’t THINK you can be especially vulnerable. | mean if you’re drunk you might be to it, but alcohol would make you weaker tomost magic, | mean it’s technically a poison, right?” She smiles awkwardly, probably remembering that | own a bar.
“A fun poison.” Megan adds.
“Also if you’re doubting Harry's control you shouldn't. The only Incubi I’ve really been. around is Harry so | haven’t had a chanceto build up resistance either. I’ve almost never felt anything from him other than the occasional happy vibe. | like to think of it asHarry manages to control like ninety five of the emotions he has around me so | just feel a little of his magic. Of course you’regoing to feel way more, he HAS way more feelings around you and | suspect that he has less control around you because he’sprobably more relaxed around you. | mean imagine trying to stay in control of your emotions and magic ALL THE TIME.

fifty times that his magic barely seems to affect you but | always thought he secretly loves i I’m sort of amazed to hear that itdoes affect you after all.” Megan sounds fascinated. | really need to steal someone’s phone and find out what the hell they’re allsaying about me in this
text chain.
“Uh... yeah. Well anyway, eventually you can learn to resist Harry's magic, but that will take some time. It’s part of why Incubitend to struggle with relationships, they overwhelm people. But... is it really so bad? | had to distance myself from him as ateenager because | definitely DIDN'T need to feel whatever it was he was feeling about me at the time. But would a little extrainsight be so bad in your case? Particularly since you apparently feel the same way about him anyway. It might make youremotions more intense, but if you didn’t actually feel those emotions they wouldn’t last more than a few minutes. His magic ispretty focussed on you, he probably isn’t doing it on purpose or anything. He just loves you and that makes it hard for him to holdhimself back. He usually avoids people when trying not to share his emotions around so much. Like he refused to come see uslast night because he didn’t want to make us ‘pissed off and miserable’ to phrase it his way.” Ryann sighs and Megan pouts.Great, now | feel even worse. Harry is sitting around alone while | have all his best friend's undivided attention as they try tomake ME feel better. Actually, they’re not trying to make me feel better. They're just trying to fix the situation as a whole. That'sthe whole point of this conversation and | need to remember that. So, what have | learned? Harry hasn’t been going aroundshoving magic at everyone, just me and it was probably an accident anyway plus he thought it wasn’t affecting me. No wonderhe got so jealous when | implied that | had another Incubus friend. He believed it because he thought | was immune to his magics
| MUST have spent time around other Incubi. They're also saving Harry can’t make people feel things he doesn’t feel.
“Are you guys telling me that an Incubus who is in love, or at least focussed on someone, won't really have magic that works onother people?” | ask, trying to see if | have this right.. Ryann shrugs.
“Not quite. | mean, you can love someone and still lust after someone else. Plus there are always other emotions like anger andstuff that they can push on people. But their magic does tend to stick to one person if that’s who they're obsessing over. | mean,I'm sure if he worked on it, Harry could drag out some kind of feelings of attraction to any remotely appealing person. He’s goodat seeing the good in people. But why would he want to? He might enjoy the attention, but he is loyal. So | wouldn’t worry aboutit.” Ryann says the words. almost as a warning. Yeah she wants me to trust Harry, and | probably should. But is he really
